Sam Vaknin, a distinguished figure in psychology and finance, is renowned for his profound contributions to the field of personality disorders. As a former Visiting Professor at Southern Federal University in Russia and a Professor of Finance and Psychology at CIAPS, he has left an indelible mark on the academic landscape. Vaknin's influential work, exemplified by his seminal book "Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited," has been extensively cited in numerous books and academic papers. His dedication to understanding and treating Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) led to the development of Cold Therapy, a groundbreaking modality that has shown promise in alleviating not only NPD but also major depressive episodes.
